Just thought I'd add, and this is kind of an aside, that there is still a gray area for Stage 2s in that NCCN treatment protocol and it's the area I fell in where there are no positive lymph nodes after surgery but there are still some adverse features of the tumor(esp. perineural invasion). It only says radiation should occur when there's one positive lymph node and adverse features. Does that mean by that protocol even radiation wasn't recommended? I think this is why second opinions are so critical when you're stage 2.
